The X-CITED Communities Engineering:
What is the X-CITED Engineering Community about?
Vision
The Engineering Community brings together Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) working across engineering disciplines, creating a connected space for collaboration, peer support, knowledge exchange, and the development of best practice.
By uniting a diverse network of like-minded professionals, the community helps ensure engineering expertise is shared, recognised, and strengthened across institutions.
Aims
Find people like you
Connect with fellow engineers working across different institutions to share experiences, collaborate on challenges, and build a strong peer support network.
Shape your development
Be the first to hear about funding, training, and development opportunities from X-CITED and across the wider community.
Share solutions and best practice
Use the community as a central space to exchange knowledge, discuss technical challenges, and learn from others’ experience—so you don’t have to start from scratch.
Advance engineering practice
Engage in discussions on topics such as:
- Material characterisation (tension, compression, torsion, fatigue, and related techniques)
- Large- and small-scale static and dynamic testing of structures and assemblies
- Collaborative problem-solving with fellow engineers
Enable collaboration across institutions
Facilitate access to expertise, partnerships, and cutting-edge equipment across the G4 universities, unlocking new opportunities for joint working and innovation.
